"prodigies are the ones with clear goals ahead of them and they're passionate to work towards it little by little."

this was wat Sam messaged me on MSN.

but hmmm, no eh,
this is wat dictionary.com told me:
[this is e best looking choice out of 3]
'Anything so extraordinary as to excite wonder or astonishment; a marvel'

[n this wld b the worst case scenario]
'A production out of ordinary course of nature; an abnormal development; a monster. --B. Jonson.'

hopefully, i'll not become a prodigy,
all i jus want is to strive hard.
tats all. =]

hmmm, today struck my heart again.
insurance or assurance.
main thing i drew out from it,
is tat i jus gotta draw closer to Him.
coz its my reasonable service n sacrifice.
its part of my job.

well, i was saved to serve.

hmm, n the first 'wakeup call' i got today,
or rather, e 1st invitation to serve came today.
Herbie passed me the YPF Leaders' Retreat outline.
well, it makes me think, i've really nvr been TAT fervent at all.
honestly.
yrs ago,i wld use to think tat i wasnt ready, or perhaps,
i jus wanted to jus go church n tats all.
u noe, wat a basic slacker usually does.
but within the past 3 or 4 yrs,
i've done e YPF anni Video for 4 yrs,
be part of e camp comm for the 2nd time this yr,
1st time was 3 yrs ago i think, when i might still have been unwilling.
n coerced to become Memory Verse I/C too.
but now its YPF LEADERS!!!

but yeah, i guess,
this few months hav been my turning point in life.
n I wanna thank those who hav been especially encouraging to me.
Christie, Serene, Yun Feng, Charmian, Roy, Qi Yang and many others.
yep,
this is gonna b my 1st real step to serve Him.
n like i said, im not fervent too,
n im really scared.
im afraid.
but i noe somehow, He'll bring me thru.
*optimism revived*
*shoo shoo pessimism!*

haha.
yep, im really afraid.
but i guess i gotta do it.
so ya,
in order to endure in this quest to go stronger
im gonna need more encouragements k?


i noe its hard too,
but we gotta pull thru life's journey.
n i'll still be there,
so if u need a listening ear,
im jus a phone call away.
(but ya, yun feng, dun bug me with weird smses like, "Do I look like a smoker?")
take care peeps!
yay!
tml holiday!
mayb i go NUS see see kendo!




n now a chorus of a song to end this post.

"Oh, how praying rests the weary!
Prayer will change the night to day;
So when life seems dark and dreary,
Don’t forget to pray."

(1 memory i had of this was when Pastor Timothy Tow sang this last yr at one of his last messages at the pulpit,
with his weak n frail external shell of his at e age of 80+,
coughing while singing this with his hoarse voice.
but now, i may not hear him sing (or speak) again.
but i'll hear him sing in another tune, another song, someday.
and when tat day comes, we'll all sing to the same tune!)
